On stockpiling after FDA deeming regulations

Yes. Rumor has it she also wields a mean skillet.

0mg is always an option.

Gradual reduction is the key. Drop your nic level just 1mg once every 3 months. In time you'll be down to just 1mg juice. After that you can go to 0mg and you would never notice the difference.


My wife has absolutely convinced herself that she needs a lot of nicotine. If you talked to her today she would tell you that she can't get by without her 18mg juice, and despite vaping for 3 years she couldn't possibly even think about reducing it.

She has no idea that I've been gradually reducing it without telling her since I started DIYing my juice. She's really only vaping 10mg juice, but if she feels better thinking it's 18mg I'm not going to burst her bubble. Nicotine addiction or reliance is a lot more mental mindset than a lot of people want to admit to. 0mg is always an option. You might not want to take it, but it is an option.

I've been vaping for almost 6 years at around 24 mg. I'm reducing it now to 18. My question to you is does she still vape the same amount of liquid? Every time I step down, I chain vape for a good week! And I still keep at least one bottle of 24 mg around.

I have the same problem,i vape at 18 mg and when i try to drop to 12 mg a vape way more.I have made a batch at 15 mg and i will try that when my 18 mg runs out.

You know, there's nothing to stop us from sending another boardie a little "surprise package" a couple times a year. Kind of like a "Secret Vaping Pal" kind of thing, like some do where they work at Xmas time, or within a group of friends...with a "Secret Santa" event. Wouldn't have to be anything big nor expensive...just something vape related!

I'd take part in it later!

There actually is going to be a few things keeping us from doing this. There was a forum member in another thread talking about how he has a felony warrant out for his arrest in WA because he sent a friend pipe tobacco in the mail. There was no exchange of money. So as usual we'll keep an eye on the laws while we consider those kinds of nice things.

As for understocking... my Dad literally hasn't purchased a thing since regs hit. His regular bottles of juice and that's it. He might buy a couple things if he had some extra cash around which he doesn't (I'll share my 2L of nic with him if it comes to it... aka I need to order more for "me") but he isn't panicking one bit. "I'll just quit vaping, [removed] Still trying to get him to send his first email to a representative...

I like nicotine, it's a stimulant no more harmful than caffeine. I did cut down from 18mg to 3mg. Plan on going down to 1.5mg but no further.

So no, 0mg is not an option, I have no desire to cut it off. It's like telling someone who loves coffee, Cola's etc you can't have it because we don't want you to.

Unless there is a legitimate reason for me to remove it then I will continue to enjoy it. But if there is I'd better remove Tomatoes, Potatoes, Cauliflower, eggplant, etc from my diet also.

I'm interested. Where did you learn this?

Think this is old news actually. It was when the Bishop-Cole amendment passed the house and was awaiting senate approval. It was why there was so much confusion over which bill to support at the time, the Bishop-Cole one which was newer but had already passed the house, or the 2058 one.

For some reason as of right now... I can't even find mention of the Bishop-Cole amendment on Congress.gov. Anybody?

This was the news in April.

I lower mine from 6 to 4 and didn't even notice it

I hope they have strong lawyers...

I lowered mine several times - a little at a time, but as I lowered it I also noticed that I increased my vaping, which I did not want to do so I raised it back up slightly and worked on reducing my vaping volume first - I vape about 3-4ml a day (the busier I am the less I vape) at about 12 - 15mg. I mix 240ml at a time and I plan to continue trying to lower it down to about 8 - 10mg eventually, but that will be my bottom tier. After that we will see...

Edit: I need to add - I am a tootle puffer vaping about 3.5v... Haven't even tried a VW mod yet...

You sneaky dog, you....LOL but I don't think I would want to be in your shoes if she ever finds out....eventually she will realize what you are saying,,,,,but until then......hope your couch is soft.

I have a spare bedroom with a nice, comfy queen sized bed and television. I'm good.



By the time she figures it out her nic level will be so low that it won't matter anyways. I've got to make a new batch for her this weekend while she's out of town on a business trip. She'll come back and be vaping juice with just half the nicotine that she thinks she is.

Doh!

Let us know how that goes...

I only drop her nic levels by 1mg with each new batch I mix. I mix up 200ml at a time so she goes long periods between each drop. She's never noticed and she's not vaping any more than she used to.

I've dropped from 24mg down to just 2mg. I used to vape 3-4ml per day and now I'm vaping more like 6-8ml per day, but that has a lot more to do with the fact that I switched from tootle puffing when I first started to subohming large dual coil setups that produce a lot more vapor. When I first started vaping the Protank was the big thing, and I had a massive tank because I was using an iClear 30. Now when I'm at home my Serpent is my "conservative" tank and I'm alternating between it, my Freemax Starre, and a Griffin 25, depending on what I'm doing. Those tanks just drink juice.

We've been together more than 20 years now. She doesn't even want to know the details of what I'm doing, she just wants to know that I have juice ready for when she needs it. One day I'll tell her how low her nic level really is, but I'll probably wait until she's down in the 3mg range before I do. I'll be sure to video record it so you can see the expression on her face.

 

[NC_Fog]

My wife thinks that she is still doing 18mg. She is actually down to 6mg. She must have forgotten that she asked me about a year ago to slowly drop her nicotine over time. She did ask me to wait a month or two though(I waited a week). I'm waiting for her to ask me if I ever got around to reducing her nicotine. She will be happy...I hope.

I recently dropped from 12mg down to 3mg, but that was because I switched to more powerful devices and lower ohms. I do find I am vaping all day long, sometimes non-stop, so next batch I will switch a few of my favs to 6mg and see if that doesn't slow me down a notch. Plus, the devices and lower ohm heads are really drinking the juice so next batch is about a week or so away.

Here is to hoping she doesn't take that camera and well, you know the rest of the story.....

Maybe an option for some, but not for me. I am in this for the nic fix. Tried 0mg a few times and it did nothing for me.

Anyway, the main point of my "only 2 options" was that going back to tobacco was not one of them. I dont ever want that monkey on my back again. Yes, vaping itself is an addiction (for me), but at least it is one I can live with.

I kinda was the Same way with Flavorings for years. And when I would read about people Using Unflavored or VERY Lightly Flavored e-Liquids, I would just shake my head. It just wasn't an option for Me.

But sometimes Time changes things. So Who knows? Maybe down the road 0mg is something that you might find more Appealing. Or... maybe Not.

But one thing I am in Complete Agreement with you. I am NEVER Going back to Cigarettes. Period. End of Report.

 

[mikepetro]

Now, I could easily vape unflavored. In fact I do every 3-4 tanks. I get what I call "vape mouth" where I cant taste the flavors, whenever that happens I will just vape unflavored for a day or two and let my taste-buds normalize.

I hold beliefs held by several others here on ECF. I think the FDA unchecked will cause scarcity, so I prepped. I'm about 80% ready. Let the chips fall where they may.
